| Obverse description | Mary of Brimeu seated facing on an ornate throne, holding the attributes of her lordship; below her figure, the shield of the Brimeu family divides the inner beaded circle. The enthroned effigy is rendered in the elaborate late-Renaissance hammered style characteristic of the Southern Netherlands. A Latin legend encircles the design within a beaded border, identifying the issuer by name, title, and divine authority. |

| Reverse description | A large, elaborately quartered heraldic coat of arms, incorporating the arms of Brimeu and associated lordships, is displayed centrally within an ornamental rose formed by radiating petals, evoking the classic Rosenobel type. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown and supported by heraldic beasts on either side, rendered with fine detail in high relief. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the encircling Latin legend, which occupies the outer field. The overall composition closely follows the English Rose Noble design tradition, adapted here to the dynastic claims of Mary of Brimeu. |
